What is the Singapore e-Visa?

Singapore e-Visa is an electronic visa that grants entry to Singapore for tourism purposes and simplifies the visa process by allowing travelers to apply online and avoid traditional paperwork.

The electronic visa to Singapore is a single-entry permit issued for 2 months (60 days). It enables visitors to remain in the country for up to 30 days.

Eligible foreign citizens can apply for a visa online by completing several straightforward steps. It is necessary to provide the required information, documents, and electronic signature.

After covering the fee, applicants should wait for a Singapore e-Visa to be approved. Then, it will be sent to the email address as a PDF document.
